Can't believe I waited so long when this is so close to me. I'll be back! Came in approx 8pm on a Tuesday night. Thankfully we were able to order because they were closing early that night and let us know once we sat down. My partner had never had tacos before (I know, crazy right?) so this was his first experience and it was great for both of us. He got beef, steak, and chicken tacos and I got Al pastor & carnitas + rice and beans. I had to add the caramel stuffed churro because... well read it again. It was so fresh. They don't skimp on the meat, and it was packed with flavor. So simple yet so divine. read more

Cute spot with a lot of greenery and character, if you like eccentric and good vibes this is the place for you! The owners were especially welcoming. We ordered the taco combo with rice and beans -- the shrimp tacos were excellent. The steak and rice were slightly overcooked, but the elote in a cup and churros were standout additions and finished the meal perfectly. They recently started doing soft serve for margaritas. Just in time for summer. read more

One of my favorite places in Nashville! I come here all the time and am yet to find anything on the menu that I don't like. My go to are the carnitas tacos - the best carnitas in town hands down! The breakfast tacos, pollo tacos, and the new hard shell ground beef taco are all excellent as well! The queso and guacamole are delicious and fresh. The fries are super good too - hard fried to hold their crispiness but fluffy on the inside. I often order for pickup and they're super fast - always fresh, hot, and ready on time. You cannot go wrong with an order from here! read more

Absolutely the best tacos in Nashville! They handled the very busy cinco de mayo celebration with ease. Delicious drinks, frozen margs and bottled Mexican Coke !!! Creamy queso and crunchy chips are a must. Guac is also amazing. Upbeat vibes and the nicest staff. A true hidden gem. Great patio that is dog friendly. Always will come back to this place! read more

Tio Fun is a great local restaurant in the Buchanan Arts District. Overall, the vibe is fun and friendly. The tacos are pretty delicious. They make their own salsa and the queso was perfect. Everything is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

YALL. Get your ass to brunch here immediately! We came for our favorite tacos but were pleasantly surprised that on Sat/Suns there's a brunch. I'm so serious--this version of chicken and waffles was exceptional (as a nashville native). Do not sleep on this. Thank me later! Hats off, chef read more

Excellent little taquería in North Nashville. They clearly focus on quality ingredients and well-executed dishes. My wife and I had chilaquiles, arrachera, al pastor, and barbacoa tacos. Everything was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the arrachera. Streak was beautifully seasoned and flavorful. Also, have to shout out that their flour tortillas are made fresh in house and are money. One of the owners, Mike, was kind enough to sit and talk with us for a while. His passion for the food and atmosphere is unmistakable. Tio Fun clearly means a ton to him. We've already told our friends about this place and plan on being back soon. read more

Tio Fun is a GEM in our neighborhood. It's great for brunch, lunch and dinner! There is free parking, you can dine outside with your pup and eating at Tio Fun won't break the bank. Let's talk about the tacos. OMG. My husband said they are some of the best he has ever had and definitely the best in Nashville. I have had the Carnitas, Barbacoa, Al Pastor and Pollo. Pollo is my favorite with Carnitas in a close second. My husband's favorite is the Potato, Egg and Cheese taco. I think he could probably put 10 down if I let him. If you have a big appetite, don't miss out on Mikey's Super Taco. It's huge--like enough for at least two people. The potatoes in the tacos are so good. The taco seasoning on them is so addictive, and if you order the potatoes as a side (Twisted Fries), you really have potatoes for a few people. I have had both the Fancy Tia Salad and the Caesar Salads with the pollo added. Both were good but my new favorite thing is the Barrio Bowl. It puts Chipotle's burrito bowl to shame. Last but certainly not least, you have to try the Funcle which is their frozen house margarita. You have to be careful though because it will sneak up on you. So darn tasty. Tio Fun is a winner! read more

They say the devil is in the details, and Tio Fun has scrutinized all the smallest aspects. Everything is on theme from the food names, to the decor, to the familiar music transformed into Mexican beats. I can't believe how much thought had to go into this restaurant, but wow is it perfect! I got the pocho nachos and added chicken. It's the ideal nacho mix with a nice balance of toppings and contrasting flavors. My husband loved the super breakfast taco and appreciated the amount of protein in it. The owner took great care of us and was so friendly and welcoming. Everything was freshly made and delicious. Literally cannot say enough good things! There's a small parking lot, indoor seating (and outdoor tables in warmer weather), and is good for groups or families. read more

We love walking to this restaurant on our neighborhood strolls. The tacos are always spot-on, the margaritas are delicious, and the ambience is superb. We have dined inside and outside on the patio, if we bring our cat on a walk we obviously sit outside. There are fun decorations and a game you can play (which is Nashville themed) while you wait for your food. We are always treated with kindness when we come here. I wish that the menu was more up-to-date, we ordered a quesadilla and were surprised that it came with grilled pineapples (which were not listed on the menu). It was still enjoyable, but we probably would have ordered a different menu item. I suppose I would request that it be clarified that if you order a certain protein (listed under the taco menu) it will come with the listed sides (even if you order a quesadilla). read more

Fun Mexican Food! Tio Fun is where you need to visit if you're looking for some "different Mexican fare." This is not your regular Mexican menu. This is a clean little joint where you order at the counter, find your seat, and your food is brought to you. The staff were not overly friendly, but they were efficient. The food menu has 4 main sections; Tacos, Breakfast Tacos, Munchies, and Sides. We ordered from three of these menu sections. My friend ordered Al Pastor and Barbacoa Tacos. He loved them! He especially enjoyed the sweetness the pineapple added to the Pastor tacos and the tenderness of the Barbacoa. He added some of the house made Garlic Habanero Hot Sauce for a bit of a kick. I ordered the Steak Lonche from the Munchies section and the Corn In A Cup from the Sides. The Steak Sandwich was delicious! The skirt steak was cubed and cooked perfectly. The grilled peppers and onions mixed well with the Queso con Chili to make the sandwich warm and gooey. And the hoagie roll held up perfectly to all the fillings inside. It was a good size for lunch. The Corn in a Cup was large enough to be shared by 2 people. It had nice flavor and texture. I was told it was typically served cold and was asked if I wanted it warmed when I ordered it. I said yes, and it was served at room temperature. It's a tasty dish with way more corn than mayonnaise, and the Flaming Hot Cheetos Crumbles added nice crunch and texture. The restaurant has lots of tables and looks freshly painted. The restaurant has a nice bar and an outdoor patio that will be fun to enjoy when the weather is warm. I recommend Tio Fun for lunch and I plan to return soon. The food is good and worth the price charged. read more

Good food and pretty good service. Got the frito pie, one arrachera taco and one Al pastor taco with corn tortillas. The tacos were super yummy and the meat wasn't dry. The frito pie was small but worth it. Would recommend this place if you're looking for quick bites. They also have free lollipops and plenty of parking. The vibe of the place is chill. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We have been twice now and there is never a crowd, which makes me both sad and thrilled. It's clean, the staff is always friendly and the food is great! Opt for the Queso over the Guacamole. The Quesadilla is big enough to share and their sauces are unlike any other place we've been. We love sitting outside, but the inside is festive and the playlist so fun! We will be back and hope you give it a try! They have their own parking too which is a huge win in Nashville! read more

Had such a great experience here with my wife! We both really enjoyed the ambiance with the music and decor (brought us back to living in Tucson). The food portions are MASSIVE, so don't worry about going hungry here. Given the size of the portions, pricing is very fair in my opinion. Place your order at the window and the staff brings your food to your table. All very clean inside. We had the fries, frito pie, Tijuana dog, and the fried chicken torta. Would absolutely recommend! We will be back! read more

Nice casual restaurant! Fast service, no line or wait even at dinner time. Plenty of seating indoor & out. Order at counter. Fun decor. Good tacos & sides like guac & churros. Cheap drinks with a good variety. Kid friendly with some play stuff (crayons & such) but no diaper changing table in the restrooms. Taco Tuesday all tacos are $3.50 each, and deals on already cheap drinks. read more

What an amazing addition to Nashville's food scene! Tio fun was opened by the couple who runs The Mockingbird, and featured an extremely fun and playful menu of 'Mexican Munchies'. They also have a shrine to all famous uncles (think: uncle Jesse, uncle Rico) to keep with the theme. It's counter service, and the food comes out pretty fast. There's also margaritas available and the frozen margarita was phenomenal - pro tip to ask for a little tajin for in it! They've got delicious breakfast tacos, playful eats like the Tijuana Dog and Mex-Izza, and save room for churros or shaved ice for dessert. Can honestly say the entire experience was top notch from start to finish. Every item we tried was tasty and the staff were incredible. Have a feeling this place is going to be a staple! read more

This place is super festive! The outdoor patio is vibrant and relaxing. Service is on point, very outgoing. The tacos melt in your mouth and have lots of meat. I loved the special touches.

I ate the most delicious breakfast tacos today, and thought you might like to know about it. This place is where it happened. The flour tortillas are made from scratch, soft and fluffy, like Loveless biscuits. The beans are almost like a bean sauce, which sounds weird, but perfectly compliments the yummy, non greasy, potatoes and eggs. The two taco sauces were right up there with the tortillas, the red is hot but not too hot, and the green just the right balance of flavors. My BF is from Texas, I'm from California so we're picky as hell and this place checks all the boxes for both of us- I'm used to breakfast burritos, he's used to breakfast tacos- it's the best of both worlds! The friendly server told us it gets really lively at night. Great bar menu with imported beers, and many non alcohol options. First time I've seen a shot of tequila referred to as Mexican mouthwash, lol. When you've lived in Nashville as long as we have, it's great to discover new neighborhoods.This area is called the Buchanan Arts district. It reminds me of 12th South in its very early days. We'll definitely be coming back to Tio fun soon. Ps The ambience is perfect, we loved the shrine to fun uncles, featuring my fav of all time, Uncle Rico. read more

Tasty, terrific tacos! The egg and chorizo, and arrechera tacos were fantastic. Plus some solid margaritas

A very fun vibe. They put a lot of thought into ambience, with random cacti and fun colors and a great Spanish music mix of mainstream hits like "I Will Survive" and "Jolene" en español! Service was very fast and friendly. Order at the counter, and it's soon delivered to your table. That said, the food was not even at a mediocre food-truck level. Taco meat cooked down to bland, brown, unremarkable globs, all of it....the pastor, the barbacoa, the chicken. Not even the house-made bottled sauce could enliven it. Sad to say there was nothing vibrant or energetic or interesting about the food. read more

There's nothing on their menu that you won't enjoy. I've been here multiple times and each visit is a HIT! I love that they serve breakfast tacos ALL DAY. I personally love the potato and egg breakfast taco. Don't forget to ask for the spicy salsa; it's the best combination of tingly and delicious on my taste buds. Speaking of taste buds, their freshly-made flour tortillas are absolute fire. I would love to just take home a bunch of these tortillas home. I also love the al pastor taco, the guac, the queso, and the Tijuana dog! And don't forget to save some room for dessert! The churros are the perfect end to your meal. read more

Went to Tio Fun for the first time tonight and it was pretty good! The vibe is cute and fun, and the food is good too. We got the fancy tia salad, mexican pizza, guac and chips, a side of rice, and charred jalapenos. The mexican pizza was enormous and not great. I wish we were told how much food it was going to be because we barely ate any of the pizza. My boyfriend also got a margarita that was mediocre. Next time we will have to skip the margarita and pizza and try the tacos! read more
